Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ The Last Bearers ❯ Chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )

Identity

Note: Um…don't kill me for taking so long to update. Please? This chapter was a beast to finish. I started it ages ago, but I had no idea where it was going. On another note, Aleksei isn't this chapter at all (dodges flying objects). But Caelyn and Aidan are in here plenty. And Daire makes a bit of an appearance in the beginning, but it's mostly about Caelyn and Aidan.

Life went on after Jayden had bore his first son. We allowed Bryan and Jayden to remain together as partners and they bore several children. Several other of our sons became lovers and bore children as well. The rest were partnered to the various daughters we had over the years. Our lives were a routine. There was not anything very extraordinary about them, except for the fact that we were a family reproducing with each other.

Jayden and Bryan were the first couple to leave our house. Anatole was four and Jayden and Bryan had already had several more children, all sons. Hayden decided that they would be happier with their own place and so in his spare time, he built them a house. He enlisted the help of Bryan who needed to learn anyway. I was sad to see them leave, but I knew that I couldn't hold onto them forever. They had their own families to take care of now.

Chapter 9

As the months slid by, it became more and more apparent that Daire was pregnant. He was forced to start wearing maternity clothes that were like his regular clothes, only larger.

The clothes of The Institute weren't ugly, but they were plain. The uniform consisted of a simple pair of cotton pants and a cotton T-shirt that were a navy blue color. Also included were a pair of navy blue socks and ankle-high black boots. Daire didn't really hate the uniform, but he thought someone could have made them look a little better.

Sighing softly, Daire went to breakfast with his fellow Bearers. His life had become so boring. It was a routine: go to breakfast, go to lessons, have lunch, have more lessons, eat dinner, and go back to the dormitories. It was so predictable. The only thing different about his life at this point was that he was pregnant. He was moodier than usual and would burst into tears over the smallest thing. Not to mention he was getting huge. He didn't even fit into his old clothes anymore, which made him cry even more. And, he had breasts. He knew he shouldn't feel self-conscious because it was the way every Bearer was when he was pregnant, but he couldn't help it. He was a guy, for god's sake! He wasn't supposed to have breasts, in normal circumstances. But he wasn't normal.

According to Mr. Brennen, Bearers had special hormones that were triggered at pregnancy that gave them an easier time with the pregnancy and birth as well as breasts so the child could be properly nourished.

As his pregnancy drew to a close, Daire was miserable. He tried to eat, but he wasn't really that hungry.

“Are you okay, Daire sweetie?” Caelyn asked, placing a hand on Daire's shoulder.

“Yeah.” Daire swallowed hard. “I'm just not really hungry.”

He thought Caelyn was going to chide him and give him a lecture about how he had to eat not only for himself but the child he was carrying as well, but Caelyn just smiled sadly.

“I know how you feel. I'm not really hungry either,” Caelyn said.

After breakfast, they went to their first lesson. Caelyn, however, didn't join them.

“I'm going to go lay down for a while,” he said distractedly.

Daire knew he wasn't telling the whole truth, but didn't push it. “I'll see you later then.”

“Yes.” Caelyn nodded.

Daire went into the classroom alone for the first time since he had arrived at The Institute. Either Caelyn or Aidan had always been there with him, but Caelyn wasn't feeling well and Aidan was getting cleaned up from having his heat in the middle of the night last night. He knew he would be okay. He could survive for a while without Caelyn or Aidan, right?

Caelyn silently traveled down the halls until he came to the dormitories. He wasn't feeling well at all, though he had a nasty feeling of what the cause was. It was around the time he usually got his heat. He was only at the very beginning so it could not be detected by others, but he had this feeling that he was going to go into heat soon and he was never wrong. He had come to dread his heat because of his mate. Halen was almost as cold as Aleksei was. Almost. Plus, he was rough and made Caelyn's whole experience extremely unpleasant.

He fervently wished his mate was as kind as Ian was to Aidan, but he knew it could never be. Even Aleksei was gentle with Daire, Caelyn had learned. He was not the only one who had a mate who liked it rough, but sometimes it certainly felt that way.

Caelyn gathered his things and headed for the bathroom.

Maybe if I take a shower, I'll feel better. He thought, walking down the familiar path to the bathrooms.

When he got to the bathrooms, however, he was not the only one there. He had completely forgotten that Aidan had had his heat recently and was cleaning himself up. Needless to say, Aidan was surprised to see Caelyn there as well.

“Cae? What are you doing here?” he asked, rubbing his hair with a towel in an attempt to get it dry. “Did you have your heat or something?”

“No.” Caelyn shook his head. “I'm just not feeling good and I'm hoping a nice shower will help me feel better.”

“I see.” Aidan studied Caelyn carefully. “You're lying. You really suck at lying, you know.”

Caelyn blushed. “You just know me well.”

“Yeah, that's true.” Aidan grinned. His face turned serious. “So what's going on Cae?”

Caelyn sighed softly. “I think my heat is coming.”

“Your heat?” Aidan blinked, confused. “So why are you cutting class? Isn't that the opposite of what you should be doing?”

“I don't want my heat!” Caelyn was on the verge of tears. “I don't want to go through the same thing over and over again with Halen. It hurts Aidan! It hurts so much!” Tears were falling, but he didn't care. He didn't even bother to brush them away. “I don't think I'm ever going to get pregnant Aidan, and it's his fault! He's so rough with me! What if he's damaged me?” Caelyn gave a low sob as the emotions he had been trying to conceal for so long. “I'm scared Aidan. What if I'm never able to get pregnant? What if The Director decides that I'm not of any use and decides to get rid of me?”

“He won't,” Aidan said fiercely, hugging Caelyn tightly. “I won't let him. He'll never take you away from me. I swear.”

There was a pause and then Aidan crushed his lips to Caelyn's. When he realized what he'd done, he backed away.

“I'm sorry,” he whispered.

Caelyn shook his head. “It's okay. I…I think I'm ready.”

“Are you sure?” Aidan asked. “Because I won't force you to do anything you're not ready to do.”

“I'm sure Aidan.” Caelyn smiled.

Their lips came together. Aidan's tongue slipped past Caelyn's lips and explored his mouth. Caelyn brought Aidan's head closer. Aidan's mouth left Caelyn's and moved down his neck, gently nipping and sucking the skin.

“God, you're beautiful,” Aidan murmured. “You're so beautiful.”

Caelyn flushed. “Thank you Aidan.”

“I mean it Cae,” Aidan said seriously. “You're one of a kind. Halen totally doesn't deserve someone as beautiful as you, especially since he's hurt you so much. He doesn't appreciate anything but the sex and even then, he makes it so hard on you.”

“I know,” Caelyn said sadly. “There's nothing we can do about it. He's my mate.”

“Yeah, I know.” Aidan frowned. “I know you don't belong to me, but I wish to god you did. I'd give anything to be a Breeder I wish you were mine.”

“Me too,” Caelyn whispered.

He pressed his lips to Aidan's again for several more kisses.

“Can we at least pretend that you belong to me?” Aidan asked.

“Yes!” Caelyn breathed. “Please. I want you…I want you inside me so bad.”

“I want to fuck you too.” Aidan grinned. “I was just restraining myself all this time.”

Caelyn smiled. “Well you won't have to restrain yourself anymore.”

“I'm glad.” Aidan leaned in and kissed Caelyn's lips again.

They broke apart and Caelyn hastily removed his shirt. Aidan did the same. The two of them faced each other. After they stared at each other for a few moments, they came together, kissing passionately. Aidan slid Caelyn's pants down, followed by his boxers. He had seen Caelyn naked so many times before, but this time, it was completely different. He started kissing Caelyn's neck again as he started to direct the dark-haired boy backward, toward one of the shower stalls.

“Wh…what are you doing?” Caelyn stammered when he realized where they were heading.

“Covering our tracks,” Aidan responded. “We need to be really careful so we aren't discovered. The way I see it, the shower is the best bet because it'll wash everything away and we'll be clean. Plus, the noise of the shower will cover the sounds of us…you know…”

“You've thought about this extensively, haven't you?” Caelyn asked, trailing a hand down Aidan's chest.

“About having you here like this? Oh yeah.” Aidan grinned. He kissed Caelyn deeply. “Now go and get the shower ready. I'll be there in a second.”

“All right.” With one last deep kiss, Caelyn stepped into the shower and turned it on.

Aidan closed the door to the stall and removed his last bits of clothes. He joined Caelyn in the shower, which was warm by now. It was large enough for both of them to fit comfortably because it had been built large enough so a pregnant Bearer could fit with ease. Aidan stared at Caelyn for a few moments, marveling at how beautiful he was with water dripping down his body. Then, he stepped forward and pressed his lips to Caelyn's again. The hot spray pounded their bodies as they kissed. Caelyn started grinding his hips against Aidan's. Aidan gasped at the contact. He felt his body growing hot.

“Cae, hurry,” he urged. “I can't take it much longer.”

Caelyn nodded and started stroking Aidan's erection. Aidan moaned softly and started breathing heavier. He kissed Caelyn feverishly.

“Now,” he whispered.

He put his arms around Caelyn's waist and lifted him up so he was halfway between the ceiling and the ground. Caelyn spread his legs and firmly gripped Aidan's shoulders to brace himself. Aidan slowly slid in. Caelyn squeezed his eyes shot.

“Let me know if you want me to stop,” Aidan whispered. “Let me know if I'm hurting you.”

“I'm…fine.” Caelyn sounded amazed.

He gasped as Aidan started thrusting, going deeper and deeper. It felt so good, not like when he was with Halen. All he could feel was the pain. He did not know any pleasure. But with Aidan it was the opposite. He knew the pleasure along with the pain.

Caelyn cried out when he felt Aidan come into him. It was always the part he hated most, no matter who his partner was. Aidan slid out of Caelyn and let him down. Caelyn was dizzy from euphoria and shock. His breathing was quicker than normal.

“I'm gonna go and clean up in another shower and then head to lunch.” Aidan eyes lingered on Caelyn's erection. “Do you want me to take care of that for you?”

Caelyn would've said no normally and taken care of it himself, but he nodded. He trusted Aidan.

He closed his eyes as he felt Aidan's warm hand on his erection and gave into the pleasure of someone else stroke it so gently. Minutes later, he was finished and Aidan's abdomen was covered with a thick, sticky liquid. Aidan removed his hand and gave Caelyn a quick kiss on the cheek.

“Thanks,” he whispered before stepping out of the shower, gathering his clothes, and heading for a different stall to get cleaned up.

Caelyn remained motionless underneath the spray of the shower for the longest time, muling over what happened. He knew he should be ashamed with himself for having sex with a man who wasn't his mate. He had just broken one of the most sacred rules at The Institute, which was punishable by death if the Council saw fit to execute him. He did not feel any sort of remorse at all. After all, Halen had brought this upon himself, hadn't he? He was the reason Caelyn was infertile. Caelyn was sure of that. Aleksei was a cold jerk, but he was surprisingly gentle with Daire and had gotten him pregnant. Maybe that was the cause.

Finally, Caelyn snapped to attention and cleaned himself up/. He was slightly sore after his experience with Aidan, but it was nothing like when he had sex with Halen.

Halen…

He would go ballistic if he found out what Caelyn had done. Swallowing hard, Caelyn decided that he had to sleep with Halen again or he would be suspicious. The next time he had his heat…

Caelyn's head snapped up as he realized the full extent of what he'd done. Not only had he had sex with someone who was not his mate, he had also done so in heat. He was fairly sure that he was in heat. And Aidan had been unusually horny, although Caelyn had to admit that the brown-haired boy had been becoming more and more horny lately, especially around the time of Caelyn's heat.

There was a chance that Caelyn was pregnant. It was highly doubtful, seeing how infertile Caelyn had been up to this point, but he knew that it was still possible.

“Oh god,” he whispered. “What have I done? What the fuck have I done?!”

To be continued…

Note from the author: So, how many of you saw that coming? To be honest, I didn't know it was going to happen until recently. Took me by complete surprise. I hate it when characters do that to me. It's so annoying. Now I'm wondering just what the hell I've done. Things are only going to get more complicated from this point on.
